The lack of convergence between quantum laws and gravitation remains a persistent problem in physics. A recent advance, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Quantum mechanics can explain and recover classical results under some specific approximations. However, deriving quantum mechanical results strictly from classical assumption is generally not ...

For decades, scientists have tried and failed to explain how the force that binds the heart of atoms together really works.

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...
